Location: Flowery Branch, GA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail, Aircraft nearby

I woke up this morning and approximately 07:34 I opened my balcony door off my bedroom (2nd floor) and seen a bright light. At first I thought it was just the sun reflecting off a cloud because it was early and I could see the sun rising as the moon was fading out.It was clear skies and the light seemed to keep rising above the cloud I had noticed it in and started to get longer to what then appeared to be a fire ball. I noticed as it kept going on an upward trend straight up that there were 2 fiery streaks that trailed behind the fireball object. I picked up my phone and started recording video because it was hard to make out and I zoomed in and was able to make out the fireball shape with the trails behind it. I recorded this for 1 min 29 seconds and put my phone down to use my bathroom inside my bedroom and when I came back to look the sky was very grey and cloudy and the object seemed to disappear. I live in an apartment complex and this was seen north ! off my bedroom balcony. I have attached a link to the video I recorded for further investigation and I also noticed after watching the video 44 to 45 seconds in I seen a small metal object to the top right of the fireball but that also disappeared in seconds of recording. I dod notice 3 to 4 planes in the area prior to the siting but am 100% sure this fiery object was not a plane.
